Announcement of the 11th The University of Aizu Robotics Symposium

The 11th Robotics Symposium of the University of Aizu

The 11th Robotics Symposium of the University of Aizu is going to be held on Friday, May 22, 2026.

At this event, researchers from the University of Aizu and their partner companies are going to present the results of their work in fiscal year 2025, the second year of the project's fourth phase (Stage IV). Since 2015, the University of Aizu has been working with Fukushima Prefecture's support program for industry-academia collaborative robot research and development.

In Stage IV, the focus has been on advanced robot technologies such as Cloud Robotics, which connects multiple robots via a network to improve control and management, and Dual-Space Robotics, which combines real and virtual environments. We have also continued our research on ICrT, a term that blends ICT and Robotics. Our goal is to develop these technologies toward practical use that supports Fukushima's recovery.

The Symposium will be held in person at the University of Aizu.
We look forward to your participation.
